it'll only cost $2600 lmfao

Given the current inflation rates and by the time that card is released, $2600 is probably going to be the price of the 5070.

It won't matter, there won't be any cards available to buy anyway because 97% of their silicon will be going to AI accelerators to make CEO's richer.

Because useful tools that generate income are more valuable than things that make games look more better.

AI is what's justifying pumping over $7bn into R&D per year, which drives improvements to gaming cards too.

Every card they sell makes a CEO richer, among a huge swathe of other effects.

Of course they are valuable. But corporations will always prioritize that which generates value for themselves.

What good are those massive improvements to gaming cards when GPU costs spiral into the multiple thousands of dollars and become completely unavailable to 98% of gamers? 'Cause institutional buyers have no qualms dropping $20k per card, and that will inflate the market to an insane degree. Jensen knows this and will happily kick individual consumers right into the firepit.
